Seasonal irrigation volumes and water footprint in a Mediterranean peach orchard
No full textThe water footprint of a product (WFP) has been proposed as indicator for quantifying the impact of production or consumption of goods and a tool to drive consumers' choices. Also it may serve to encourage the efficient use of fresh water. This is highly desirable in agriculture because of its high demand for fresh water, reaching 80% of total use. This study provides an assessment of the total water footprint (WFPtot) and its blue, green and grey components, at the orchard gate of a drip irrigated Mediterranean peach orchard located in southern Italy. The area has dry summers and an average of 590 mm of annual rainfall. The orchard was managed according to conventional (C) (soil tillage, mineral fertilization, empirical irrigation) and innovative (IN) practices (cover crops, recycle of pruning material, compost application and postharvest regulated deficit irrigation). The mean annual irrigation volume was 27.2% higher for C than IN. Six-year field data and ten-year weather data were analyzed through a soil, plant atmosphere computer model (SPASMO) in order to calculate mechanistically WFP (m3 t-1) as the amount of the annual water consumption (m3) per unit of yield (t). Total water footprint was 46.5% higher for C than IN. The blue component of the water footprint (WFPblue) was the dominant component, accounting for ~70% of the WFPtotal in both treatments. Possible use of WFP analysis within a certification scheme as marketing tool is discussed

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
